My Morning Jacket and Lana Del Rey have been added to the Newport Folk Festival 2023 lineup. The long-running festival returns to Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island on July 28 – 30.
MMJ previously performed at the 2005 and 2012 editions of Newport Folk. The band was also made an unannounced appearance at the 2015 fest, which included a performance backing Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters. My Morning Jacket is scheduled to perform on Friday, July 28 at this year’s Newport Folk Fest.
The festival will make a customary “Artist Give” donation to an organization of the band’s selecting, with Young Authors Greenhouse chosen as the band’s beneficiary. “[Young Authors Greenhouse] offers writing programs for young people in Louisville. The funds will be used for a songwriting program for 20 middle school students who will collaborate with established musicians to form bands, write and record original lyrics onto a record album, and then perform their work in front of a live audience.”
Singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey will perform on Sunday, July 30. For her “Artist Give” beneficiary, Del Rey selected Music On The Inside to receive a grant from the Newport Festivals Foundation. “[Music On The Inside] works with professional musicians to bring the transformative power of music to those who are incarcerated or facing the challenges of reentry.”
MMJ and Del Rey join a Newport Folk 2023 lineup that includes Billy Strings, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, Goose, Nickel Creek, Maggie Rogers, Los Lobos, The Hold Steady and Mdou Moctar, among others.
